It seems as if it a DIVX v5 avi.

Look down, I posted up a no video thread.

If u can't be bothered, here::)

uninstall DIVX v5 codec
install DIVX v4.11 or v4.12 codec
extract the WAVE in Virtualdub
load in the video and the wav in TMPGENC and encode

This should solve the problem.

what settings do i need to get rid of the blockiness on fast scenes. im coverting an avi from a dvd rip to xvcd.please help

increase the vbv biffer size to 224. and make sure it is on hgh quality/auto_CQ.

Techno

Try as I have in settings...."Quantize matrix" setting the "soften block noise" to about 80 each. I found that worked and I can use "Motion search percision" to "Motion estimate search (fast)" and it comes out good and encodes 5-7 times faster than "higest quality (very slow)" with a smooth video. I am using Divx DVDrips though.

Can someone help. After i have entered all my settings and click start, I get the error,, "X the error occurred when ACM was initialized". Its wont let me continue with the procces.. Im using version 2.53.35.130 my os is windows xp pro.

hmmm.

use vob2audio to extract the audio as wav and then load that in TMPGENC with the video and encode.

I have been trying to sync up my vidio and audio tracks forever and now I finally got it right but nero says 44100khz 2 channel audio isn"t compliant how do I make it compliant?????any help would be great......

well, it should be if u used the vcd template in TMPGENC.

what to do is to extract the audio as wave using virtualdub (making sure it is 44100Hz)

then load this and the video in TMPGENC and encoding it using a VCD temp and burning it in nero!


Techno

that is what I did accept I didn"t have to extract the wav cuz it was wav from dvd2avi,but nero says it isn"t compliant audio cuz it is 2 channel...

I figured it out ,the audio was 3 layer instead of 2,but now the audio just cuts out I have tried 3 different external encoders but the audio still cuts in and out,it seems once you fix one problem another one pops up......

try using ez cd-da extracter, it has a converter in it. convert it to MP3 then encode in TMPGENC and it should be fine.

Techno

I read somewhere(a link from vcdhelp i think) that in the next version NTSC to PAL conversion will be improved,making the converted vid MUCH cleaner(no dropped frames and so on).
Can anybody confirm this??????????

I have encoded 1 film into svcd but it is in 2 halfs how do i paste the 2 together???

use MPEG tools to merge them together

first load file no1 then file no2 then save them! :)

Make sure u select MPEG2

Techno

Whenever I have TMPGEnc merge two MPEG-2 files, there sound an the end of each section is either cut off or warped.

Merging MPEG-2 480x480 29.97fps CQ 100, Layer-2 44100Hz 160kbps files for SVCD production.

Hi! There~~
I have faced on the task of converting HDTV MP@HL(1920x1080i) Transport-Stream source files(.tp) to Direct-show Stream as MS-MPEG4, Divx, or MPG, etc..
I found that only TMPGenc opened the .tp stream files successfully with Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder v. 1.40(alpha) Direct-show filter.

After exporting the .tp to .avi file with TMPGenc, I have encountered with a problem on .avi have no sounds in spite of audio track presence !!

Some times later, I recognized that the .tp files have dual audio track.
as below.. (Mediaplayer with Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder v. 1.40 alpha)
http://myhome.hananet.net/~skylarkx/myhd01.jpg
http://myhome.hananet.net/~skylarkx/myhd02.jpg

As a result, TMPGenc utilize subchannel audio-track which have no sounds generally in order to make .avi... , and ignores the primary audio-track.


Now, TMPGenc needed,
1. Give audio-track(or device) selection if the source stream has multi-track audio..
or
2. TMPGenc should utilize primary audio-track on HDTV MP@HL Transport-Stream source files instead of subchannel as now.

Would it be possible for next update?
(I'll waiting with all my heart!!)

For reference, I leave HDTV Transport-Stream MP@HL sample file
(Estimated 15MB, running time is about 7sec.. WOW!!!)

wow, impressive stuff! :)

Thank you for ur link of mpeg2 TS directx filter...I finally can open a sample.tp of BoA singing No1 on musiccamp...thanks a lot

Does it cause any problems to run other programs while tmpgenc is encoding?

yep, I answered...

Techno

On my system I can"t even hav the screen saver on without haveing it cause a error in my video file, so you pretty much have to encode and do nothing else....

Really Sherlock? wow! :) unusual

Hi there.

I have taken my time to write this information up for people who are having problems with TMPGENC not encoding video, only sound. The video picture maybe black.

This is because it is a DIVX 5 avi. And DIVX v5 is not compatible with TMPGENC.

To get rid of this problem, do the following:

uninstall DIVX v5

Install DIVX v4.11 or v4.12 (www.divx-digest.com/software)

Then load the avi in TMPGENC and encode.

This should solve the problem

Thank-you

Techno

I have done as you said but there is still no picture. Would the fact that it is an SmR film make any difference?

sometimes.

do u have the SMR codecs installed (just to be safe)?

Sorry for the late respons, I was away for the last two weeks.
Thanks Ashy, great respons. I'll try the solutions you wrote and I'll let you know!

have tried to download the program and when i run it the tabs/buttons have no writing on them so i cant see what they do. if anyone has any idea what is going wrong can they let me know please.
thanks in advance.
mark.

How do I use TMPGnc to convert from mpg to avi so I can make my file smaller?

TMPGENC only encodes from avi to MPEG or MPEG to MPEG.

If u r thinking of encoding to DIVX, use 3.11alpha and use encoders like Virtualdub/nandub/vidomi.
